[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there has been an "information providing apparatus using a business card" (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-94666) in which a magnetic tape is attached to the back of a business card, and information such as a company guide and a product catalog is recorded on the magnetic tape. Also, in the medical field, it has been common practice to manage medical records by computer and record magnetic information on the back of medical examination tickets.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in the invention of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 5-94666, although various information can be recorded on the back of the business card, its storage capacity is small, and it has not been possible to record a large amount of video, video, audio, and the like. The biggest flaw was that the recipient of the business card had to have a dedicated reading device. Therefore, this invention has not been widely used at present.

Further, in medical treatment, since each medical institution records and saves personal medical information such as a medical chart only in each medical institution, the medical information is hardly useful for the individual patient. That is the fact. For example, if you get sick during your trip and visit a medical institution on your travels, you will have to restart your medical treatment from the beginning because the information recorded in the medical institution you usually see cannot be used. If you get sick abroad where you can't speak, you may not even be able to get medical treatment.
